Discovery BoxJohn 17:11 
Context17:11 I 1 am no longer in the world, but 2 they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe 3 in your name 4 that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. 5
John 19:24
Context19:24 So the soldiers said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but throw dice 6 to see who will get it.” 7 This took place 8 to fulfill the scripture that says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice.” 9 So the soldiers did these things.
1 tn Grk And I.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.
2 tn The context indicates that this should be translated as an adversative or contrastive conjunction.
3 tn Or “protect them”; Grk “keep them.”
4 tn Or “by your name.”
5 tn The second repetition of “one” is implied, and is supplied here for clarity.
6 tn Grk “but choose by lot” (probably by using marked pebbles or broken pieces of pottery). A modern equivalent, “throw dice,” was chosen here because of its association with gambling.
7 tn Grk “to see whose it will be.”
8 tn The words “This took place” are not in the Greek text but are implied.
9 tn Grk “cast lots.” See the note on “throw dice” earlier in the verse.
